When the room finally stopped spinning, Jennifer found herself still in her bedroom. Everything looked exactly the same. Looking in the mirror, even she looked the same. "I knew that curse was bullshit." She continued getting ready, grabbed her backpack and purse, then headed out of her bedroom.
The moment she stepped into the hallway, though, she stopped dead in her tracks. What happened to this place? All the walls were painted black, with string-lights (like the ones used during Christmas, but with black-light bulbs instead) supplying the only lighting along the sides of the ceiling, which was also painted black. The carpeting, on the other hand, was a deep red color. Blood red was what it was called.
Taking slow steps as she walked to the stairs, she saw that the layout of the rooms was the same, but the decor was drastically different. Weird was what it was. Definitely creepy. Maybe there was something to that curse after all. But what kind of weird world was she in now?
Once she was downstairs, she just stood at the bottom of the stairs and stared. She looked around herself, at all the bizarre changes, but she didn't move an inch otherwise. Everything looked dark and gothic. As said before, all the rooms were in the same configuration, and all the furniture was in the same spot, but all the decor looked way different. She had a sinking feeling that she knew what kind of world she was in now, but didn't want to think about it. Really, she wanted nothing more than to head back upstairs and hide in her safe normal bedroom.
"What the fuck are you just standing there for? Get to school already!" came the voice of her mom.
Jennifer turned in her direction so fast she thought she might snap her own neck. Upon seeing her, her eyes went wide. Black hair, pale skin, black make-up, piercings, a black leather corset, black ripped miniskirt, fishnet stockings, and black knee-high buckled boots with 5-inch heels. Yeah, her mom was a Goth. Jennifer shuddered. Everyone was a Goth. Everyone but her.
"Ugh, why did you turn out to be such a freak. Why couldn't I have a normal daughter?" her mom complained.
But Jennifer was normal! It was everyone else who wasn't!
